Thank you for tips and I really appreciate them but when a video is short and to the point I appreciate it all the more. What I’m saying is this was, at best, a 2 minute video fluffed out to 8.5.
Appreciate you taking the time to make videos showing things most of us don't know about. Now, I will make sure I lock my antennas on my 2 Pro.
Thank You! It is great that you, from time to time, go back, look again and make sure nothing is missed for the pilot.
unreal have had the mighty mini for over a year now and never knew this stuff wow utterly wow
Good points! I found the MINI antenna lock early. I never thought of mounting the MINI like that. I used a tablet adapter, but you do have to be careful not to block the antenna signals!
Beautiful and thank you for sharing this. Even small things become really huge when we didn't know about it.
Thanks for the tip on putting the ipad mini in the controller. I grabbed my ipad to see it I could get it to fit as well and it fits perfectly too. You put your mini in across the wide axis (landscape), with the arms hold the mini at 45 degree angles, but I can slip my ipad in across the top of the short axis (portrait view) and the handles wrap down in a perfect vertical grasp. Really neat! Thanks Brother.
Thanks for the post and I'm sure it was a design decision by DJI to make the handles fit the iPad Mini but somebody forgot to mention that in the manual. It's my favorite way to fly with that controller and makes connections so easy. Stay tuned for more clips this week.
Can you also do a Video on the Hidden Secrets on the Gen 3? Thanks. Great Video
Hope you had a merry Christmas, Rick. Nice reminder of some of the little things included in DJI products. So much goes into stuff that's so little.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2022
Excellent points
Thanks for these tips Rick! Got to love those DJI engineers!
You sir have blown my mind with the iPad mini hack! And to think, I never needed the tablet adapter after all......
Great tips! Hope you are having a nice holiday!
Excellent video and information, most operators I know ain’t aware of features you mentioned. Thank you for sharing 👍
Thank You Rick
Happy Holidays!
Thanks for the tip Rick Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Great Video and Tips Rick! Thank You.
Two questions and asking for your thoughts. Do you have any remedies for sunlight glare on your screen when flying in bright sunlight? Do you not have any other hack for using iphones in their cases other than modifying the controller?
Spot on as always hope you had a great Christmas
Just clicked the antennas together on my Mavic Mini remote. Never even knew it was there. Thanks 👍
where can I buy a longer connector cable for a mini tablet? DJI said that they don't carry them
I didn't know about the antennas, but The iPad is what I use with my Mavic2pro. Thanks for the tips!
Glad to help! I love exploring tech like this and sharing what I uncover. Stay tuned for more content this week!
Love that tip, my mini fits great. Thanks👍
Well after seeing this video I got the bug to starting shopping around for an iPad Mini (5th gen). Got a used one off of Ebay in excellent condition and it works perfectly. Changes the flying experience for the better. Not sure if I'll ever go back to using my smartphone 😊
The antenna thing is no secret! I noticed those on day 1 and I think most people did too! I did not notice the tabet notches though or put it together what it is. Thanks!
Thanks for the post but almost all of the folks I tell about this feature have never seen it before and it's an important things that wasn't mentioned in the manual. It's great that you found it but a lot of folks missed it and I like to help fliers get the most out of their gear. Stay tuned for more clips this week. Rick
Great tribute to those working behind the scenes that may get properly compensated but not getting proper recognition.
well it fits your tablet but you didn't say anything about the cable, it will not reach the port on the tablit
So I guess you can buy a longer connection cable to connect the iPad mini to the controller? Sorry new to the drone and controller.
Yep, you need a slightly longer cable to reach. We actually developed a 30cm cable to do just that and you can find them on our Drone Valley website. I hope that helps and Happy Flying! Rick
Is there a different remote that will work with the SE
Great Information, Thank You!!!
Great tips in this video, 👍👍👍Thanks
Good tips Rick
I havent used my spark in a2 years. Now controller won’t charge or batteries. Am I going to need to get a new controller and new batteries. If I need to I am prepared to do so. Where is the place to buy these items?
didnt know about the ipad holes because i only have a phone , BUT only yesterday i was looking at ipads for using on the mini se because im old n my eyes arent that great now . so . thanks for the tip rick . i know what to look for now . an ipad mini .
do they make Arms that can fit larger phones or even tablets.
What about the speaker looking wholes under it 🤔
can you help me I have a Samsung 21 ( the original controller you have just shown) and I can no longer fly my mavic Air the APP won't work. it keeps crashing
What about the cable?
I have a mini se and wanted to get a charging hub and extra battery. I was wondering what batteries and charging hub would I buy?
noticed the antennas are opposite facing to . thought it was a fault at first , then worked out the click thing n it made sense lol
every day . im loving my mini se more . dji has really done well , especially for us poorer ppl that cant spend 1000's on a drone , i went out yesterday in the wind , and could not believe how well the drone and camera handled it . it was pretty strong wind . but it never fazed the se at all .
Will the cable with the 90 degree plug fit the iPad with otter box? Been trying to figure out how to use my IPhone with otter box!!! It’s been a pain in the A$& having to take my phone out of the case just to fly
Yes, we designed it with a longer connection to fit the larger cases. You should be fine with ours. We have plenty in stock so feel free to order then you like and we'll ship one right out to you. Rick
@@Dronevalley what is that website again please
Hey Rick awesome video as always...I never realized the notches can hold an iPad mini. However, I'm an android guy so I was wondering if you have any Samsung tablets that you would recommend for the Mavic Mini
I use a 9 inch Samsung 6lite. Works awesome.
Bro.
I also use an iPad mini 6 as my “view screen” but I use an attachment which I have misplaced and have been using my wife’s phone. All along I could’ve been using just what I had… 🤯🤯🤯
I literally tested it while you were describing it and I cannot believe I have been NOT doing this 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
I'm glad that the clip helped. I felt the same way when I figured out that the iPad Mini would fit into the handles of the controller. Have fun and happy flying!
I love you.
U are awesome just saying
Good information for newbies, but this was old news for me back in 2016.
Andy, thanks for the post and I first posted a clip on my channel about using a tablet with the Mavic Pro on Oct 30th 2016. I had a lot more hair back then (OK, a little more hair). I just thought it was something that a lot of new pilots might not know about since DJI is still using the same base controller with the Mavic Mini and the Mini SE. Be sure to stop back soon for more content. Rick
Well pat yourself on the back! 😏🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@futuristic6801 Surely it's you that should be congratulating yourself, getting 1 subscriber in 10 years on TH-cam. Your content and comments must be so engaging.
Keep up the good work 👌
Can I use this controller with a mini 3
Nope, unfortunately these older controllers are not compatible with the newer drones like the Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro. You can use the RC-N1 or the DJI RC with the Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro.
Do you guys experienced remote controller always turned off?
Thanks for the post and I haven't seen this issue. It sounds like you might have a lazy battery that needs replacing. Your better option might be to look for a spare remote on eBay or Amazon and just replace the entire remote. There are a lot of these "generation 2" remotes available and that will solve your issue.
Thank you was about to buy a RC with a screen tablet much better solution
I like smaller one
It will not let me like this video..what the heck?
ok . what have i missed ?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎅🎅🎅🎅
Hope their software developers use some brains and update their useless app which not even open on Android 12 anymore.
